Interview on Europe 1 with Louis Aliot, who argues that France is suffering from a broad state failure—especially in justice, security, prisons, and public spending—and that Macron is no longer listened to. He defends harsher penalties, more prison capacity, stronger deportations, and a nationalist economic line that prioritizes small businesses, French workers, and preference nationale over immigration-led solutions.

This is a long political interview, not a market video in the usual asset-price sense. Louis Aliot, mayor of Perpignan and vice-president of the RN, uses the discussion to advance a broad anti-establishment diagnosis: France is, in his view, failing on security, justice, prisons, public finances, and the authority of the state, and the political class no longer has credibility. His recurring line is that “plus personne n’écoute monsieur Macron,” so the only solution is to “renverser la table” and replace the current order with a harder, more nationally focused one. A major thread is the justice system and the Liana case, which he treats as evidence of political and institutional dysfunction rather than a narrow failure of individual magistrates. …
Near term, the setup is political and judicial rather than market-driven: the 7 July ruling on Marine Le Pen could quickly reshape RN leadership and 2027 positioning. The immediate tactical risk is escalating anti-judiciary rhetoric and a stronger law-and-order push if the decision goes against RN.
Over the next few weeks or months, Aliot’s base case is that RN gains by owning the order-restoration and anti-bureaucracy narrative, while tying pensions and growth to higher employment and tighter immigration. The view weakens if institutions appear to function better than his diagnosis implies or if RN internal candidate dynamics become messy.
Structurally, he is arguing for a regime shift toward sovereignist politics, stricter social order, and explicit national preference in both welfare and labor-market policy. The long-run implication is a more adversarial state model: less trust in courts, more executive force, and a larger role for border control in economic policy.
France’s central problem is a broad institutional breakdown, and Macron is no longer listened to.
Repeated as the core diagnosis and the justification for a political reset.
The justice system’s failures are driven partly by political prioritization and ministerial guidance, not just individual error.
He says prosecutors and police follow political roadmaps and priorities.
France cannot absorb the current level of violence because the prison and justice systems are overwhelmed.
He links overcrowded prisons, repeated releases, and high violence to systemic incapacity.
Que retenez-vous de Bernadette Chirac, cette grande dame de la politique française ?
Louis Aliot retient que Bernadette Chirac était une élue enracinée dans son terroir, qui disait souvent des choses au président Chirac qu'il aurait dû écouter, notamment sur la dissolution de 1997 et sur l'arrivée de Jean-Marie Le Pen au second tour en 2002 qu'elle avait prédite. Il note que personne ne l'écoutait car il y a un système politique très parisien qui n'écoute pas les élus de province.
Présente-t-on parfois le RN comme l'héritier du RPR de Chirac, et est-ce qu'il y a du vrai là-dedans ?
Louis Aliot répond que c'était le RPR sans Chirac, car une partie du RPR voulait dès l'origine une alliance avec le Front National, comme à Dreux avec Jean-Pierre Stirbois. Il accuse Jacques Chirac d'avoir empêché cette union des droites en instaurant le cordon sanitaire, ce qui a selon lui pénalisé la droite pendant 30 ans et permis à la gauche de revenir au pouvoir.
Qu'est-ce que l'affaire Liana dit de l'état de la justice en France ?
Louis Aliot affirme que les dysfonctionnements judiciaires sont le résultat de décisions politiques. Il explique que les procureurs et services de police reçoivent une feuille de route du ministre de la justice et que si on priorise un catalogue de 20 priorités, c'est comme n'avoir aucune priorité. Il note que le ministre a dit que 1% des affaires de viol sur enfants sont traitées et que le système judiciaire n'a pas les moyens d'assumer le degré de violence actuel.
